I recently got Butt a new house, and a sandbath. He loves digging in his sandbath so I like to hide some sunflower seeds for him to discover.
He was exploring his new house, hiding in its basement and whatnot so I took this opportunity to hide some seeds in his sand. He FREAKED OUT and jumped, caused the whole house to jump with him, then he bolted out and across the bin cage to hide behind his wheel. He then proceeded to attempt to climb up the side of the cage to escape (but didn't).
He's sitting quietly on his wheel for 10 minutes now(doesn't happen often), silently contemplating why his owner is such an idiot.
He's relatively young (just about 2 months) but he seems to dislike me because he doesn't go on my hand a lot anymore.
What should I do now? Should I try the taming process all over again? Should I leave him alone for a day or two? I feel so guilty right now...
Sidenote: He's also just back from a friend's who watched over him for two weeks so that might be a factor? I need to start warming up to him all over again.
